One thing is for certain..

..and with the 2012 Olympics coming, in the UK, the badminton world is in need of some new, fresh, talented badminton bloods from Europe to replace the current aging fleet of top European shuttlers.....

And if this new, fresh, talented European badminton bloods are indeed scarce, badminton's fate in Olympics is doomed then?

Olga Konon

I agree with your assesment that Olga Konon has a bright future. We must remember that she came back from 5 months out due to injury picked up a racket for first time in the 5 months and won European Junior championship gold in doubles and bronze in singles. Remarkable!!! She also won in Toulouse recently beating some good seasoned players en route. She won the Finnish International at the tender age of 14 and we must remember she is still only 18 years old.

And on top of all that she is a really really nice person.

Keep an eye out on BADZINE for an article I am about to publish about her. She also has a website at www.olgakonon.com
